Firstly, we find out what you would like to gain from your walk on Porto Santo and plan a route with you which fits your needs and the local conditions. Our island has a rich and diverse centuries’ old heritage - natural, agricultural, industrial and cultural and stunning, varied landscapes.

Your guided walk will focus on your interests - so you can feel the genuine essence of Porto Santo on your terms, at your pace and at a time to suit you and your plans.

We provide a door-to-door service. We will pick you up from the port/airport, the city of Vila Baleira or your accommodation and take you far from the madding crowds, either solo or in exclusive small groups, on selected trails. Our guides provide a truly personal welcome and are known for their genuine love of the island.

Porto Santo is the oldest island in the Madeiran archipelago and we hope by walking with us you will gain an insight into how it gained its status as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the most connected way - on foot and with an experienced, insured resident guide.

The island has an amazing 15 million year-old geological lifecycle from her explosive adolescence to her now peaceful later years and this clearly reveals itself with every step through the landscape we traverse.

Naturally, the guides will talk through Porto Santo’s history and why it has been so coveted by the first settlers and raiders alike throughout its 600+ year inhabited status. We share how the people survived and thrived, despite all the odds, droughts, famines and incursions.

Whether you choose a tranquil sunset walk to capture idyllic photos, a breathtaking hike up the island’s peaks to get the heart racing, or something inbetween, our local dedicated guides have the knowledge and expertise to make your time on Porto Santo truly unique and fulfilling.

After your walk, we will safely drop you off at your accommodation, in the city of Vila Baleira - sharing information about great places to eat and drink - or take you to the airport or port.

Our aim is for you to truly explore the hidden gems of the beautiful island of Porto Santo and what makes it so unique to walk in as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
